What is a bersa thunder 380 worth?

You can buy a new one at Academy for $279, and used guns are running close to new prices if they're in good condition. It's kind of an obscure Argentinian brand, so probably $225.

I personally think they're priceless-I've had one for a year and it's 100% reliable, and has a trigger that makes anyone a marksman, and felt recoil is very similar to my son's Nerf gun. You might consider giving it to a family member that really needs a good personal protection gun instead of giving it away for $200.

Does thunder come before lightning?

Yes; light travels faster than sound. Sound is vibrational mechanical energy that propagates through matter as a wave and light, or visible light, is electromagnetic radiation of a wavelength that is visible to the human eye. Sound must travel through matter to be perceived by the human ear. Light does NOT.

Why is it safer to be inside a car than standing under a tree during lightning?

Because of the rubber in the tires. It also has to do with being lower to the ground.

And generally, it's pretty stupid to stand under a tree during a lightning storm, seeing how lightning goes for the tallest thing it can or the tallest thing around.

What is the book early thunder about?

Early Thunder is about a boy named Daniel West. He is living with a single dad in The town of Salem right before the Revolutionary War breaks out. Daniel is faced with a decision of either being a Whig or a Tory. He is also faced with his dad coming home with a new mom when Daniel did not even know he was seeing anyone. This is a very good book about the life of a boy during the Revolutionary War.

Can you make different types of clouds in a cloud jar?

Yes, you can create various types of clouds in a cloud jar by following different methods. For example, you can make cumulus clouds by heating water in the jar and adding ice cubes on top to create condensation; or stratus clouds by gently shaking the jar after adding warm water to simulate a layer of stable air. Experimenting with temperature, pressure, and motion can help create different cloud types in a cloud jar.

What thunder is created by?

When a bolt of lightning discharges, it heats the air around it to a temperature of several thousand degrees. This causes the air to suddenly expand, creating a partial vacuum around the bolt's path. When the air rushes back into the vacuum, it creates a loud clap. The sound echoing off the clouds and ground is what we call thunder. That is why you only hear a bang when lightning strikes nearby. All of the sound is traveling away from you. When it is at a distance, you hear the rolling echoes.

How do you get the secret techs on Tales of Symphonia?

Genis' Meteor Storm- look in heimdall. theres a scene with these people and they teach genis his most powerful spell.

Lloyd's lightning strike- equip the sardonyx from volt and use sonic thrust like 1000 times or something theres also a super lightning strike and you have to do sonic thrust like 2000 times.

Lloyd's phoniex rise- equip the garnet from Ifrit and use rising falcon like 1000 times or something (sorry I don't remember the number of times you have to use these)

theres a couple but look on gamespot.com for a guide to get more.

-Edit by KilllerX-

Gamespot wouldn't help there as much as I know.

Genis

Indignation Judgement: Use Indignation 50 times then when in over limit use Indignation again (does not require 50 uses in overlimit just 50 uses)

Meteor Storm: After getting the Final scene before the Final Battle, go to the Eastern most (Most to the Right) area and talk to the people there

Lloyd

Rising Phoenix: Use Rising Falcon 200 time and equip Garnet

Lightning Tigerblade: Same as Rising Phoenix, except with Syrdox (sp?) and Tigerblade

Lightning Trust: Same as Lightning Tiger Blade (except with Sonic Thrust)

Devine Judgement: Title needed is Eternal Swordsman, Swords are Material, hp is in the red (20% or less I think)

Collete

Holy Judgement: Use Holy Song and Judgement 50 time each, then use either one for a random use.*

Kratos

Judgement: Have Kratos Rejoin you after the Flanoir Scene

Reagel has one just can't remember which move. But it is with the Opal (Wind Based)

Kratos/Zelos

Grave Blade: 200 Fierce Demon Fags + Earth Ring

* For an easier use have her use Holy song. (look at the picures of chars if you see a target selction there cancel and use until it isn't there)

That's about it for the NGC one

What happens when the Eiffel tower gets struck by lightning?

The Eiffel Tower is designed to withstand lightning strikes due to its steel structure and grounding system. When it gets struck by lightning, the electricity is directed safely into the ground through its metal framework, protecting the structure and its occupants. Maintenance checks are usually done after a lightning strike to ensure no damage has occurred.

What is the shape of a lightning strike?

A lightning strike typically follows a jagged, branching shape due to the path of least resistance through the air. It can appear as a single bolt or multiple branches stretching across the sky or ground.

How can you explain the flash you see as lightning?

It is all due to the static current. In a cloud the negative charges are in bottom while the positive charges are in the top. It is same for all the clouds. Now there are clouds in the top as well bottom of the sky. Due to the atrraction between the negative and the positive charges both the clouds move towards each other with a very high speed. WHen they collide due to the very high speed, the small fraction of air present between gets heated and due to this heating it begins to glow. *The heat causes the electrons in the air molecules/atoms to become excited. They quickly release the energy by emitting light.

What causes the explosive release of energy in the lightning bolt?

Unbelievably rapid resistive heating of air as millions of amperes of current flows through it. The air becomes nearly as hot as the core of a nuclear bomb and expands supersonically, forming a shock wave indistinguishable from that of the detonation of explosives.

Why doesn't lightning occur when it is snowing?

It does occur. It is not as common in snowstorms as in a rain storm, because rain is much better at generating static electricity than snow. "Not as common" is not the same as "never". During December 2008 a snow storm in Massachusetts USA produced lightning, with accompanying thunder.

Why does lightning strike when it's raining?

Lightning can occur during rain because the storm clouds contain both ice particles and water droplets that rub against each other, creating an electrical charge. When the charge becomes strong enough, it discharges as lightning.

Why can't we store thunder voltage?

Thunder voltage cannot be stored because thunder is simply the sound produced by the rapid expansion of air surrounding a lightning bolt. Voltage, on the other hand, is a measure of electric potential difference between two points and cannot be stored as a sound wave.

What is cloud brust?

A cloud burst is an extreme weather phenomenon where a large amount of rainfall occurs in a short period of time over a small geographical area. This can lead to flash flooding and other water-related hazards due to the rapid accumulation of precipitation.

Why is lightning bad?

Lightning can be dangerous because it carries a massive amount of electricity that can cause severe injury or death to humans, animals, and can damage property through fires. It can also lead to power outages and disrupt communication systems. Lightning is unpredictable and can strike quickly and without warning.

What time does lightning strike the clock tower?

Lightning does not strike a clock tower at a specific time. Lightning strikes are unpredictable and can occur at any time during a thunderstorm. Lightning tends to strike tall structures, like clock towers, because they offer a direct path for the electrical discharge to reach the ground.

How cold can a tornado get?

Not on their own. It is not uncommon to find severe thunderstorms along a cold front. But other ingredients such as wind shear are needed for those storms to produce tornadoes. Additionally, not all tornadoes are associated with cold fronts. Tornadoes may also occur in association with a dry line, a warm front, or a hurricane.

What year was the Major League Baseball strike?

The players' strike that killed the World Series was during the 1994 season.

What is the temperature for a thunderstorm?

Prior to a Thunderstorm, the temperature can range anywhere from 60 to 90 degrees F but the humidity and dewpoint will be very high. As the Thunderstorm releases rain, the temperature will decrease. It brings cold air down from the top of the Thunderstorm.

Why would you avoid metal during a lightning storm?

Metal is a good conductor of electricity, so being near or touching metal objects during a lightning storm can increase the risk of being struck by lightning. If lightning strikes a metal object, the electricity can travel through it and potentially harm anyone in contact with it. It's best to avoid metal objects and seek shelter indoors during a lightning storm to stay safe.

How are high and low pressure areas related to wind?

wind flows away from areas with higher pressure. This is used in chemical and biological warfare prevention in some gov't buildings, the building internal pressure is higher then the outer airs pressure, that way you gand just walk up wind of the building and releace the chemical/biolagical agents thi s is what they say but not what they mean.

What are the consequences of a thunderstorm?

To be honest, there isn't really an affect. It gives off a booming noise which is always followed by lightning. It can affect people though and give them what is called "Storm Phobia" which means they are frightened of them. If it is a strong thunderstorm it can knock down trees and the lightning can stricken people but it is highly unlikely. It can happen but rarely
